From the comment it seems it was intended to fix a link-time error when building qt4-x11-free for mips - some kind of issue with binutils 2.20 [1]. However I just built qt4-x11-free 4.7.3 with MACHINE=qemumips without the patch and it built just fine. We're using binutils 2.21 now, I checked and there is nothing relevant that I can see in the binutils changelog to suggest that a mips/symbolic-functions issue was fixed, and we are apparently still enabling the option that originally triggered the problem when building Qt 4.7.x. Ke / anyone else, any ideas? If the problem can no longer reproduced can we simply remove this patch?
